"Yo San's faculty is top notch...they know their material

and are enthusiastic about sharing their knowledge."

-- Kat Van Vlack, student

Another student, Xuan Le says, "I deeply respect my instructors. My practical classes are very hands-on, with much help from both knowledgeable and friendly instructors."

Our faculty is committed to academic excellence, sets high standards, and is determined to provide you with an education that is at once intellectually stimulating and relevant in today's modern health care environment.

Since the early eighties, when acupuncture schools in the U.S. began to receive formal accreditation, southern California has become an important center for Oriental Medicine. We draw from a large pool of talented teachers and practitioners for our faculty and clinic supervisors.

Yo San has always had a diverse faculty. We have a core of native born and trained Chinese instructors who have studied, taught, and practiced at some of China's top TCM Universities; some come from distinguished families of Chinese practitioners. Equally impressive is our dedicated Western trained faculty, some of whom have been with us from day one. Many of our adjunct faculties are skilled practitioners with years of clinical and teaching experience and strong specialties. Our western trained faculties teach TCM theory, Chinese herbology, and Qi development courses as well as Western medical sciences and practice management.
